Lawyer Wang and I have more than ten people around us. I saw lawyer Wang knocked to the ground. "

Not just intentional injury.
Journalists are soldiers who expose the truth, and lawyers are messengers who safeguard justice. Beating journalists and lawyers is undoubtedly a violation of public rights and laws and regulations. As workers in two special occupations, is it as simple as "intentional injury" to commit violence against them?
On the Protection of Lawyers' Legal Rights and Interests
People's Republic of China (PRC) Lawyers Law? Article 1 of Chapter I stipulates that this Law is formulated in order to improve the lawyer system, ensure lawyers to perform their business according to law, standardize lawyers' behavior, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the parties, ensure the correct implementation of the law, and give full play to the positive role of lawyers in the construction of socialist legal system.
Article 36 of Chapter IV of the Law stipulates that a lawyer who acts as an agent ad litem or defender shall protect his right to debate or defend according to law.
Chapter IV Article 37 further stipulates that the personal rights of lawyers in their practice activities are inviolable.
For acts that disturb judicial justice, the Ninth Amendment to the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) has been promulgated and implemented since 20 15438+0 1. Article 309 stipulates: "Whoever disturbs the court order under any of the following circumstances shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance or fine: beating the judicial organ. Insulting, slandering, threatening judicial staff or participants in litigation, not listening to the court to stop, seriously disrupting the court order. " Obviously, lawyers are the main participants in the proceedings, so beating lawyers is suspected of disturbing the court order.
In addition, from 2065438 to September 2005, the Supreme Law, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of National Security and the Ministry of Justice issued the Provisions on Protecting Lawyers' Practice Rights according to Law, which clearly stipulated that courts, procuratorates, public security organs, state security organs, judicial administrative organs and lawyers' associations should establish and improve the relief mechanism for lawyers' practice rights. If a lawyer is insulted, slandered, threatened, retaliated or hurt because of his practice, the relevant authorities shall stop it in time and deal with it according to law, and take protective measures for lawyers when necessary.
On the Protection of Journalists' Rights and Interests
Although journalists' right to interview news, report and supervise public opinion is neither administrative power nor judicial power, they are the representatives and extensions of civil society's right to know, criticize, suggest and supervise. At present, beating journalists is mostly treated as intentional injury, because China has not issued a press law specifically for journalists to effectively protect their legitimate rights and interests. However, Article 38 of the Constitution stipulates: "The personal dignity of the people and citizens of China is inviolable. It is forbidden to insult, slander, falsely accuse or frame citizens in any way. "
Nowadays, it is not uncommon for journalists to be beaten in the news. An industry reporter said: "It is time to reflect on the defects of the system and the loss of legal status. Once a reporter is beaten, it is very necessary and urgent for the law to make up in time. "
Really need a perfect legal protection system! Protect the personal safety of journalists and lawyers.
